To Ithilwe, Warrior of Lindon
From, an old friend.
------------------------------------
Ithilwe,
You know not who I am now, but we knew each other long ago. I regret and wish you to forgive me, but I can not reveal my identity. Not yet at least. I have watched you from afar the past couple of millennia, making sure all was well and that life was kind enough to you. If everything goes the way I plan, one day I shall be able to reveal myself to you.
You have become quite adept not only with the bow, but also in the art of healing, I hear. I must say that I am quite proud of you. You would make your parents proud as well. You have become an honorable elf. Stand tall, and be proud.
Enclosed is a gift, something that I hope will serve you well. I have finally put down my sword and armor, after several millennia, and have found a new hobby. Keep this gift safe. It is meant for you, and only you. Use it wisely.
One day we shall meet again, and you shall know who I am. Till then, young one.May Manwe guide your path.
-An old Friend.
